.SANDAG continues to push for one-party rule. Board members are fighting the weighted voting system while trying to prevent changes in the committee nomination process which would further silence conservative constituencies. More info:
SAN DIEGO – A group of leaders representing multiple county cities demanded SANDAG reconsider the weighted voting system the body uses to to decide on issues during meetings. The weighted system allows veto power to three constituencies, effectively giving the city of San Diego, Chula Vista, and the County the ability to bypass the will of all other constituencies. This system has been called an unfair act of silencing small cities.
Additionally, SANDAG board members recently tried to switch the nomination process from mayor nominated members to city council nominated members. This effort was born after several conservative mayors were elected to office, threatening the one-party rule on SANDAG’s board. Efforts to keep SANDAG’s power as concentrated and single-party as possible have created infighting on the board.
SANDAG Board Member Bill Wells, Mayor of El Cajon, joined KUSI’s Lauren Phinney to discuss recent developments in the fight to throw off the weighted system and prevent changes to the nomination process.
